Who would have been in a Clinton Cabinet?

[Vega]

Came to mind because Trump has pretty much picked his completely. I imagine Kerry, Moniz, Castro, Perez, Lynch, Carter, and even Vilsack would in theory have shots at staying on in the Cabinet in some role.

[Inmate Trump]

People with experience and education and respectability.

People who aren't racists.

[JoshPA]

Wasn't biden mention?

[Mr. Smith]

Stravidis.

[Arbitrage1980]

Perez would have been attorney general. Michele Flourney would have become the first female Secretary of Defense. I know Jennifer Granholm said that half the cabinet would have been women.

An identity politics roulette.

An identity politics roulette.

The Democrats' obsession with race, gender, and sexual identity was their undoing. Wikileaks e-mails showed that the Obama team went out of their way to NOT pick white men for top jobs.

That wasn't so bad as the Hillary campaign demonizing white males who didn't support her.

Yeah, that was disgusting. I'm a minority, but vote Republican because the Democratic Party is too far left and overly obsessed with race, gender, sexual orientation identity politics. They care more about whether a confused man can use the women's bathroom than economic growth, immigration, taxes, regulations, radical Islam. The Democratic Party disgusts me.

Qualified, competent and good people.

[Crumpets]

Well, I'm a realist, and I believe that leaders will generally act the same when presented with the same situation and choices. So, I'm going to go with Steve Bannon, Rex Tillerson, Rick Perry, etc.

I'm more interested in what a Bernie cabinet would have looked like.

Robert Reich would have most likely been Secretary of the Treasury.  Bill McKibben would have been EPA Administrator.  And Secretary of Labor would have probably been someone who would fight for workers' rights like Kshama Sawant or Pramila Jayapal.

As Trump's cabinet so isn't?

So basically the same thing as the Trump cabinet?

I think I posted a thread about that a few months ago, but it would have been interesting. It probably wouldn't be a big name Cabinet (kind of like Obama's in his second term).

[houseonaboat]

Michele Fluornoy was a lock for Defense. Perez for AG was pretty likely, though there were a few interesting names thrown around for that post. Treasury would have been interesting, I would imagine Lael Brainard, Sylvia Matthews Burwell, Sheryl Sandberg or Shaun Donovan (the first 3 names were thrown around frequently). Chief of Staff may have been Tom Vilsack or Ron Klain, Jake Sullivan would probably have gotten the National Security Advisor post, I imagine Neera Tanden, Huma and the rest of Clintonworld would have ended up somewhere as well.

Wouldn't Huma be chief of staff?  I've heard that Clinton considers her her second daughter.

Nah. Clinton's cabinet would have been a slate of technocrats, with a slather of affirmative action on top. While it might not have been any better for the nation than we've had the last 20+ years, neither would it have been any worse.

President Pussygrabber's cabinet, on the other hand, is halfway between dystopia and black comedy.

State - Exxon
Treasury - Goldman Sachs
Labor - Brought to you by Carl's Jr!
HUD - "I'm not qualified"
Oops - Rick Perry

Deplorable!

She's been more an an aide and whisperer than a CoS kind person. It's possible but traditionally the Chief of Staff is supposed to be someone with influence and weight, not just a trusted friend (Emmanuel was DCCC chair, Andy Card was Secretary of Transportation and a very well-connected lobbyist, and as a counter example, Mack McCarty having come from Arkansas instead of DC supposedly became a huge drag for the Clinton WH as they had no clear relationship with Congress)

Yea, not much different from the current Trump administration except the racial tinge & climate deniers!
